British artist writes "shibal" on his artwork due to Google Translate mistake


Artwork of hermit crab by British artist Gareth Davies. The artwork has 씨발 ("shibal" - fuck) written on it.



He explains that he used Google Translate



It turns out that not putting a space between Mr. Crab changes the translation of the word.
